Established as a city in 1835, Melbourne is a young city with ancient heritage, already host to the Kulin alliance of five Indigenous nations each with a distinct language. The juxtaposition of these histories was confronted at one of the first events of the 2018 Melbourne Design Week<\/span><\/a> with the launch of the book Colony to accompany two National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) exhibitions \u201cColony: Australia 1770-1861\u201d and \u201cColony: Frontier Wars\u201d. The book explores Australia\u2019s settler colonial past and the art and design that emerged from this period; the launch acknowledges that the relationships between settlers and the Indigenous people had lasting effects on the culture and design practices of the emergent nation.<\/p>\n
